Egress Archives - 9 Brothers Building Supply

Egress, another word for exit, becomes rather important when it comes to building code. It often refers to a way to get out of a building during a fire or another type of emergency. For example, you might need egress windows to provide a basement emergency exit.

At 9 Brothers Building Supply in Long Island, we offer the egress windows you need to adhere to local building code and help make your property safer.

Typically, you will need egress windows for a basement emergency exit. These windows are larger and make it easier for people to get out or for fight fighters to get in if there has been a house fire.

Our egress windows are easy to install and provide the right option to make sure your home is up to code, when necessary. Even if you're not required to have egress windows, they can offer a great safety feature for your home. Most homeowners will end up recouping the money invested in egress windows 20 or 30 times over when they sell their home.

Beautiful & Functional Egress Windows

We offer two options for your egress window wells with the Monarch Quarry View window well and the Monarch Stif Back II Window Well. Both offer stairs built into the construction making it easy for someone to climb to safety.

The Quarry View option offers a durable choice with one-piece construction made of fiberglass mesh and resin. It can help provide a beautiful natural stone look to the outside of your home without the same cost as actual natural stone.

If you choose the Stif Back II Window Well, you will gain a very strong option made from heavy clay/soil and aggressive backfilling. It will fit a four or five-foot-wide picture window and can be used as a wall or frame mount.

We also offer two actual Monarch Egress Windows to go with the window wells. The Premier V Vinyl Hopper offers an Energy Star Rated option with a pre-installed sash and screen. Our Premier V Bucko egress window provides another option with a sash installed and plenty of energy efficiency.

When you need the right egress windows for your home, it's important to make sure you get the right options. Our Monarch egress window products offer quality options to bring your home up to code and add value to your home.
